Cav fails to break through the pack on stage 7 of Tour de France

Thu, 07 Jul 2011

Mark Cavendish failed to gain a high place in the standings for today's sixth stage of the Tour de France.

The Manx missile was tipped to do well with a sprint finish expected on the Dinan to Lisieux stage.

He finished in 80th place overall.

Good things are expected for the Manxman again tomorrow on Stage 7 from Le Mans to Chateauroux.

Cav took his first Tour de France stage win there in 2008.
